20 Months!!

Last Thursday I turned 20 months old!!  I can't believe I will be 2 years old in just a few more months :)  Today mommy took me to go get my Easter pictures done, and I was a very good girl.  This past week I have been playing outside on my swing set and hanging out with my cousins Macy & Adella.  Next week mommy and I are going to NY to visit family.

At 20 months:

 - I still love to take baths and I do a great job of tilting my head back so mommy & daddy can rinse my hair.
 - I speak very well and even come up with sentences on my own now like "I love bacon" :)
 - I love to read books while in the car and even talk out loud like I am really reading.
 - I still take a nap for about 2 hours at around 1:30pm.
 - I wear size 19-24 months clothes and 5 1/2 shoe.
 - I LOVE to play with Mr. Potato head, carry my purses and baby dolls around, and read books.
 - I will try any foods and like just about all of them.
 - I am still not drinking from a big girl cup, I tried it a few times and choked on some water so I am scared to try it again.
 - I am walking down our stairs now with very little help from mommy & daddy.
 - I love to play hide and seek, I am a good counter but not hider :)
 - I can count to 10 but skip 5 because I think it is funny.
 - I say my ABC's and the letters I don't know I just hum them until I get to a letter I do know.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Daddy/Daughter Date Night :)

On Monday March 5th my Daddy and I went to Chick-fil-a for daddy/daughter night.  It was so nice, the restaurant had flowers on the table with very pretty table cloths.  Afterwards I got to play in the game room!
Mr. Matt and my friend Laurel also went and they sat with us, we had a great time.

This past week mommy, me, and Abby went up to NY for a visit.  We got to celebrate grandpa and Aunt Brooke's birthday while we were there, and also got to see cousin Lauren in a karate tournament.

Today mommy and I went to Maryland to visit Miss Corrine.  I had tons of fun playing with all of Elena's and Ian's toys!

I told mommy for the first time today....."no night nights" on the way home from Miss Corrine's house. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hi everyone!  Gosh it seems like it has been forever since I have been on here!  I hope everyone has a very nice Valentine's Day :)  Today my buddy Zach came over to play with me, we have had lots of fun.

A few weeks ago I went potty in the big girl potty!!  I know it seems way early, but my mommy said I am showing all of the signs with potty training, so mommy and daddy got out my new potty seat.  A few days later I went potty!  I was a little surprised though because as I was going my potty started playing music and it scared me:(  Mommy and daddy told me this was going to happen but geez!  Since then mommy asks me if I want to go sit on the big girl potty and I say "NOPE".

Next week I will be 19 months old and I just can't get over how fast time is flying by!
